The New World (Days Gone Fanfic)

The Troubles We Carry

_Erin_

a new day and another morning in my lovely bug-infested and dirt prawn cell. to be honest it could be worse, like a lot worse. at least I'm not brain-dead, or chained to a pole outside the ark for all to see. in here I have privacy and a roof over my head, and a bed give or take the state of the springs it may just be a piece of worn cloth on the ground but hey its better than nothing.

and I get fed when they remember I still exist, which isn't that often but hey at least its something. at least- at least -at least, that's what goes through my head when I think of my shitty situation. i know it could be worse but sometimes it feels like absalue hell when your stuck in a cell with yourself. esspecaly now with morning sickness, after awhile you get used to the smell but sometimes you don't get used to it fast enough and it makes you throw up even more. now you got twice the mess and ten times the horrid smell.

that was my case this morning, it was just a never ending cycle. i had to rip up an already ripped up shirt to have something to put over my nose just so i'd stop hurling. now I'm twice as missuable and I have no one to blame but me, cause you cant blame the baby. no that's not motherly, maybe I should blame Deacon. yeah that's it, this Is his fault.

my shirt now completely exposing my stomach and all its scared glory, surprisingly if you turned a certain way you could also see a slight baby bump developing. it brought a smile to my face even through my horrible morning experience.

time goes extremely slow when your bored out of your mind but my boredom was interrupted by a young new guard that was ordered to take me to Sarah, he was no older than 16 and was much gentaler than all the others. it was a nice change . when we got to Sarhas tent she was nowhere to be seen so me and the new gard had to stand around and wait for her to return. good thing is when she finally did after a few minutes she had Deacon following behind her.

Sarah ordered the guard to leave, at first he hesitated before nodding his head and backing out of the tent, shutting the door after making a quick glance my way.  Once it was just us three, well four, I made the first move and rushed to Deacon pulling him to me as I place a kiss to his lips and embracing him tightly. I could see Sarah giving us a look from the corner of my eye and a small smirk graced my lips. In some people's minds what I'm doing to her could be considered cruel but after what she's put me through I just can't bring myself to care.

Deacon slightly pulled away from and so he could meet my eyes, its been almost a week since the events at the highschool and Its safe to say I've deeply miss his touch. He lifts his hand up to caress my cheek as he leans in and tenderly kisses me, our moment however, is cut short by the sound of Sarah clearing her throat. " as revolting as this sight is we do have some things to discuss and not all day so if you to are done id like to get down to it." I couldn't help rolling my eyes at her statement 'I really hate this woman' I thought ' you can't kill her' I groaned I hate when even my subconscious won't agree with me.

Letting out a huff as I broke way from Deacon and hopped onto the metal table, Deacon following my actions and sitting beside me in the chair next to the table. We both looked to Sarah as we waited for her to 'get down to it' as she put it. " ok first things first, Deacon has informed me that he had made contact with someone named O'Brien and said that O'Brien has also been figuring out what's been happening to you, he has theories that you have, on so impossible level, bonded with the virus. He has also come to the conclusion that you are constantly letting out fermions and that's why you go undetected by the freaks."

Sarah sounded pissed the entire time she was talking, maybe it's because some other scientists knew about me or it's just the fact that I'm way more important than she originally thought. I looked to Deacon and he nodded "I radioed him that, he informed me that the virus is binding it's self to you, it's mutating you every second. Upgrading so to speak, it's changing your DNA to support you every need. He's never seen anything like it before. He also said that that thing we saw is definitely something new, my theory is it's one of the newest mutations done to a breaker." Deacon puased for a second before glancing at Sarah and continuing " he also theorized that you'd, at some point, be able to control freakers."
